Rural tourism in Crucita-Ecuador: A look from the strength of the gender

Abstract:

Currently, a group of researches around the world are focused on the outlining of strategies for the development of tourism as a driving force behind economies. In this sense, this research is aimed at carrying out an analysis on a tourism project in rural areas with a gender perspective and that promotes community development, in the Crucita parish, belonging to the Portoviejo Canton, Ecuadorian province of ManabL· Ecuador. The study at the methodological level starts from a postpositivist approach, with the interpretive paradigm. The analysis of the disquisition carried out reveals that even when Crucita shows progress in terms of female resilience and autonomy, however, elements of a patriarchal and macho culture persist that make it difficult to make visible, that is, not wanting to fully conceive of the presence of women as a relevant figure in work related to gastronomy and in other sectors of the economy, which at certain times limit their full development in society. It is concluded that, in a general way, the importance of implementing initiatives in the locality where women promote their talents within the gastronomy area is recognized, thus promoting their social participation.
